Ariz. governor says she was wrong about beheadings

.By PAUL DAVENPORT and AMANDA LEE MYERS, Associated Press Writers Paul Davenport And Amanda Lee Myers, Associated Press Writers – Sat Sep 4, 4:11 am ET

PHOENIX – A claim by Arizona's governor that rising violence along the U.S.-Mexico border has led to headless bodies turning up in the desert came back to haunt her during a stammering debate performance in which she failed to back it up.

Gov. Jan Brewer, who gained national attention defending the state's tough new immigration law and warning of increasing border bloodshed, has spent the time since the gubernatorial candidates' debate earlier this week trying to repair the damage done from her cringe-worthy contest against underdog challenger Terry Goddard.

"That was an error, if I said that," the Republican told The Associated Press on Friday. "I misspoke, but you know, let me be clear, I am concerned about the border region because it continues to be reported in Mexico that there's a lot of violence going on and we don't want that going into Arizona."

Do a Google image search for "Los Zetas beheading" and you'll see Brewer wasn't completely wrong.

Good riddance. Barry Hess is the liberty candidate in this race.

She's not a bright woman, but she made herself look even worse by dragging it out and focusing attention on her screw up. If she'd just admitted the mistake to begin with, rather than denying it for days and through the debate, she would have been better off.

She had enough trouble in the debate as it was (talk about a deer in the headlights). I've never seen a professional politician looks so completely befuddled in a debate. She couldn't even give her opening statement without drooling on herself.

Somebody save us from the empty suit we have for Governor! I can't stand her. Barry Hess all the way.
